50 Best Seafood Restaurants near West Newton

“I would like to express my gratitude to Blue Salt staff (with special thanks going to Igor) who made our special occasion so memorable! I needed to organize a nice dinner for 15 people for my son's birthday. The whole process was absolutely flawless - from initial contact with Igor who took care of all the planning and setup. When we arrived to the restaurant everything was ready and we were treated with utmost attention. The dinner was served family style and we had a chance to pick our menu selections to be shared. The portions were very generous, beautifully decorated and served, service was impeccable. The food was absolutely amazing! Everyone was beyond satisfied and happy. Thank you, thank you, thank you Igor and Blue Salt team! You made our event very special and unforgettable!“

“Really great! We live in Waltham and haven’t had great Chinese in years. Hubby was going through Newton coming home, so I just picked this place on a whim. Highly recommend. Prices aren’t crazy. House rice is amazing!“

“the oysters are out of sight! delicious bravo! bouillabaisse was amazing! I did like my server. I do suggest they get some sleep nobody was smiling.“

“Absolutely delicious in it’s perfect simplicity!“

“A group of us just went to Puritan for it's Clambake and we will definitely try to this again next summer. The quality of the food was exceptional and the cook on all the different seafood was perfect. It was such a fun experience and absolutely worth the money.“

“Amazing place! Got the spicy tuna, spicy yellow tail, and the tuna hand rolls- spicy tuna was my fav the sweet potato was super good. the service was amazing! they refilled the water and changed out the napkins without you even needing to ask.“

“We recently had a company outing at Eddie V’s, and the food was excellent, the service was great, and everyone had a fantastic time.

But can we talk about the lighting?

Whoever did the electrical work in this place absolutely understood the assignment. The mood lighting is so good I spent part of dinner admiring the fixtures instead of my steak, which is saying something.

Warm, dramatic, flattering—apparently Eddie V’s has figured out that good lighting is cheaper than Botox.

Five stars for the restaurant and the excellent steak.

Six for the electrician.“

“Our group of 6 had a fun time celebrating a special occasion at Capital Grille while also enjoying The Generous Pour! The restaurant was very nice. Spacious, sophisticated, and an upscale atmosphere.

A special thank you goes to our server, Bruno, who was absolutely amazing. He made us feel so welcome right from the start and attended to our table frequently throughout the evening to make sure we were having a great time. He was also very funny and conversational which added to the positive experience. Please send our best regards to Bruno for his exceptional hospitality!

The food was sooo good. We started with a variety of appetizers, including the calamari and oysters, which were delicious. For my main course, I had the steak au poivre medium-rare, and it was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious.

For sides, we shared the asparagus, truffle fries, and the lobster mac and cheese which was the best mac and cheese any of us have ever had! And I don’t even like lobster!

Overall, we had a great evening and cannot wait to return. Thank you!“

“Amazing food. Don't miss out on the pasta dishes or the bread. They actually make for great sharing apps. The staff is so nice and welcoming. Drinks are delicious and unique.“

“Left another place to come here because the customer service was bad. What a 180. Citizen staff was friendly, great w/suggestions and helped secure me a seat at their busy bar. Had two great cocktails and a delicious pepper seared filet. Well done Citizen Pub!! I will be back!“

“1st time here. Have driven by hundreds of times......not sure what I was thinking....it took figuring out that you can't get Alaskan King crab legs at Legal Seafoods to force me to try this place out. Took an order to go. A+ yes messy....very messy the middle Hot sauce was excellent and everywhere. Good fun. Shared as an appetizer and we all agree Good stuff. They have "All you can Eat" on Sat and Sun I believe for $30 so a great deal. We will try again. Tiny place maybe 10-12 tables so use OpenTable. I tried Boston they did not have anything for 3-4 days at 7pm. Also had a Brookline reservation. There are ~24 locations in 8-10 states.“

“i love their food and so is family i highly recommend them“

“Little tao is my hidden gem in Boston for spicy food. It has various kinds of Szechuan cuisines. I love the stir fried pork belly with chili. This place also has dumplings. The Taiwanese tradition dumplings is very delicious with meat and beans inside.“

“I went season 52 tonight for thanksgiving dinner , for the first time , the restaurant is amazing great atmosphere , The food was unbelievable, the best thanksgiving dinner ever , excellent service by Jodi M , she’s was very nice, polite and friendly I highly recommend this place ! I will be back for sure .“

“i’ve eaten here at least 50 times while living in medford.“

“I got the crawfish boil bag and let me tell you, that sauce in the bottom of the bag was some of the best seafood boil I have ever had. Reminds me of the sauce a staff at my old school used to make. 10/10 no notes. The atmosphere was perfect, nice old pub vibes. And the service was top notch. Would definitely come again.“

“The woman who waited on me and my family was incredibly kind. We have a wheelchair bound daughter and I just hope the know how come the made us feel plus the food was amazing. Save room for a cappuccino and tiramisu!“

“Every sushi was delicious! The flavor was unique and interesting. You can feel the texture contrast of each sushi, and the various flavors of each sushi are singing harmoniously in your mouth! The dessert was amazing and the sake pairing was good as well!“

“I have been going to Grassfields for many years and have been very pleased. The past few times I have been there I ordered the broiled scallops and have been disappointed. The muscle on the scallops are not removed which are very tough to eat. Also I feel they are gritty. I am hoping that someone reads this and corrects the issue because Grassfields is a lovely place.“

“Muqueca Restaurante é simplesmente o melhor dos melhores restaurantes com a melhor culinária de comidas típicas Brasileira que tem aqui 🇺🇸! Tudo de primeira qualidade feito com amor ! Atendimento excelente, preços não vou nem falar,somente vocês indo lá para comer e saberá! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“25 years I have been charged mine here. In all that time, never any less than fabulous!“

“Amazing experience. Our waiter George is simply amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and satisfied the whole night. We truly appreciate the hard work that was put in. The food was great and we can't wait to be back again soon!“

“I love StockYard. We haven't been in a long time as we moved faraway. Now, after 10 years we came back and it was like we never stopped coming to eat here. The food was super delicious. The NY Sirloin, and the tenderness of the Fille Minog was extraordinary. Outstanding customer service. The drinks were superb. And the complimentary chocolate cake with ice cream for Father's day was out of this world. Thank you.“

“Todo muy bueno y la atención de primera“

“This place is legit! Our favorite was the double cooked pork. The only thing we didn’t like was the soup, which had too many peppers in it. But there are other things on the menu that we would like to try. I will eat here again!“

“Like a previous review, had some time to kill before a Sox game and you had us with the happy hour oysters. BU alum and Sox fan, but was unaware and thrilled to find this place! Oysters were wonderful and the staff was so attentive and friendly. Sat at the bar and had a great time before the game.“

“Took my wife for her birthday, along with our daughter. Having been to Peru before and really enjoyed the flavors, we were excited to try this out. And the food certainly didn't disappoint. All of the dishes were very flavorful, including both the mango shrimp ceviche AND the vegetarian ceviche (which was something we didn't get in Peru!). The Causa reminded us of our time in Peru, and both the Peruvian Chinese eggplant and the cilantro lamb stew were very good. The former was a bit milder than we expected, but still delicious, while the latter was superbly seasoned with lamb that melts in your mouth. On the drinks side, we had a passionfruit sour, and the Chica sour and both were delicious. The dessert was their fruit mousse which was also excellent. We were seated outside as it was a nice summer's day, so I can't vouch for the interior. The service was good, though it did seem that one of the waiters wasn't particularly thrilled (either about serving us, or in general). The one who took our orders though, was polite and detailed and pointed out the vegetarian options for my wife and daughter. Keep in mind that this is NOT an inexpensive place. The items range from $17 for an appetizer to the high 30's for the main courses. But for someone craving for something different or just very flavorful food in general, this would be a great choice. I can see why this shows up on many of the lists for best new spots in the city. Highly recommended!“

“This is a unique Asian restaurant in the heart of Cambridge - very cozy with exceptional service, many vegetarian options and beautiful decor and ambiance. We ordered several vegetarian options including the fried rice, tofu, edamame, oyster mushrooms all were brought piping hot to the table and devoured in the next few minutes! The entire meal was simple yet extremely enjoyable. The dessert selected was a strawberry tapioca pudding in coconut milk - just sweet enough and extremely flavorful.“

“Pretty good roast beef. Colder beef than the usual NS beef but also cooked a little more which I like. (The typical NS completely raw beef grosses me out). You got to love the owner though. He's been serving beefs for like 40 years, waaay before they became a foodie fad. So if you say 3 way to him he'll look at you like you're a giant dork. I think its hilarious. But anyhow the food is pretty darn good for fast food. Oh and the prices are fair. He didnt jack up his prices 200% when 40-50% inflation hit over the past couple of years. He jacked up the prices to pretty much exactly what the inflation was.“

“The staff and management are always super nice and the food delicious! Guaranteed good time!“

“Our party of 14 had the wonderful opportunity for the private room Sunday June 5th. The 50th anniversary party was treated royally by Ron and Sharon. Their service and knowledge of the entrees was spot on. The kitchen staff didn't disappoint! Everything about our visit just needed to be acknowledged! Thank you.“

“So we wanted some fresh oysters and we got more than we bargained for.. We sat at a very roomy contemporary bar and received the best service one could ask for on a Sunday .. GO SEE Denise !! Recommendations were on point to what we were looking for .. Denise was friendly hospitable great knowledge of her drinks and food and always served with a smile .. Her sidekick John who delivered the food was always smiling and friendly.. You have to go here to see Denise . She will make your day ..“

“Was very delicious!! Definitely would go there again“

“10/10 would recommend. We ordered the Penang curry, chicken teriyaki rice bowl, beef satay, steamed gyoza and samosa. The peanut sauce with the beef was 🔥🔥. All incredible.“

“Not sure if the opinion of a very pasty Mainer counts for much;but the tacos and guacamole were the best we have ever had! Food was great and the service was phenomenal! We had the sweetest waitress! Will be back as soon as possible! ❤️❤️“

“From start to finish it was awesome!!! Food, drinks and service were amazing! Rodi was an amazing hostess, thank you for the awesome experience. Patrick, Annelice and Breana. Ps. Romania 🇷🇴 here we come. 😂“

“Fabulous simple basic delectable food! Wonderful homey and comfortable atmosphere. Excellent friendly waitresses. Amazing prices. I love going there.“

“I would like to thank Captain Marden for sharing their delicious food at the Winthrop Farmers Market! The wonderful food selections and the amazing staff member who was always there with a smile! Much appreciated! See you next year!“
